Womens Fitness Tip of the Day

Tip For The Day:

Not just for womens fitness but all who are trying to get in shape and get healthy, remember to change things up. Don’t continue to follow the same routine over and over. You’re body is an intelligent machine. Once it figures out your workout routine, it will adapt and find ways to perform exercises more quickly and efficiently so it doesn’t have to work so hard, (welcome to human nature.) Cool, huh? Yea…but not if you’re trying to burn fat, shape your body by building muscle, or both. The only way to achieve those goals is to make your body work, and work hard every time out. Sooo, to keep your body guessing, once or twice a week do something different.

Examples:

If you normally perform cardio and weights together and do your cardio first then one day this week do your weights first and then cardio.
If you normally do weights and cardio everyday, then one day do only cardio or vice versa.
Change up your exercises. Don’t perform the same weight or cardio routine everyday. One time treadmill, the other bike. Or one time chest press the other pushups.
Also, you could change your work intensity. If you push yourself moderately on a typical day then one day commit to going hard in intervals or lift heavier weights for fewer reps
In your resistance training throw in some giant sets or negative training.
Or, use less weight but slow your lift and release using a 10 count instead of 2 and 4 counts.

Hope this information helps. If you are doing it correctly you’ll know because your body will tell you so.

(P.S. Don’t get mad at me when doing these things make your muscles are so sore you can’t lift a glass of water or squat to gopee. I’m just doing what I can to help…besides it’s a good kind of sore…if there is such a thing. ;-)
